Shannon Short

Director - Accredited Exercise Physiologist

My passion is working with people in the musculoskeletal area. This can be; injuries, feeling out of balance, wanting to develop further in your sport or simply prevention of injuries or physical decline.

This being said I really love helping people exercise, no matter age, level of fitness or ability. I have completed a Graduate Diploma in Exercise Science (Rehabilitation) at CSU which focus' on exercise for individuals with chronic conditions, previous to this I completed a Bachelor in Human Movement (Exercise Science) also at CSU and worked my way through University as a Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor.

In my spare time, I love to run and my husband and I have two gorgeous boys that keep us active!

Jessica Bennett

Exercise Scientist

I completed my Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science in 2017 through UNE, and I have just commenced my Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology at CSU.

When I started my bachelor I was unsure of what direction I wanted to take. What I did know was that I wanted to pursue a career in which I could help others to improve their health. During the final year of my undergrad I completed many hours of placement and work experience. I was exposed to the many paths my degree could take me down, and the vast demographics I could potentially influence.

At this point I thought I was sure I wanted to pursue further studies in medical ultrasound (which one day I'd still like to!), but it was these hours of experience that changed my mind.

I realised I was passionate about preventative health care, and that I wanted to educate others of the importance of physical activity and a healthy life style. I was so unaware of how many people were uneducated in the area, and as cliche as it sounds, I want to make a difference to that!
